Scratches up your arms
You reach over to pet them. Both front paws grab your wrist and the back legs start kicking.
Cat wrestling glove
Something to bite that isn't you
If playtime ends with scratches up your forearm, try this. The Roo is a kangaroo hand puppet on a 22-inch padded sleeve, so your cat can grab, bite and bunny-kick while your arm stays covered.

Why your forearms look like that
Kittens learn to play by wrestling their littermates. An indoor cat with no littermate picks the next best thing: you.
The 3am zoomies
Energy that doesn't get used up in the evening comes out at 3am, often across your pillow.
The toy basket nobody touches
Mice, balls, a feather on a stick. They sniff, they leave. A toy that just lies there isn't much fun to wrestle.
How to play
Put it on
Slide your hand into the 22-inch sleeve. Your fingers work the Roo's head and both boxing gloves.
Wiggle, then back off
Tap the floor, wiggle the gloves, then pull back a little. Something that moves away is hard for a cat to ignore.
Let them win
Let them grab, bite, bunny-kick and pin it. When they flop over, put the Roo away until next time.
Where the bites go now
The Roo won't make your cat play nicer. It gives the claws and kicks somewhere better to land.
Without
- Claws hooked in your wrist
- You yank your hand away
- Your hands start to look like toys
With the Roo
- Kicks land on three layers of padding
- You can keep playing
- Bare hands stay off-limits

Questions we get a lot
Don't see yours? Send us a message. We reply within one business day.
Contact usWill claws or teeth get through the sleeve?
The sleeve is 22 inches long with three layers, and it takes the scratches and bunny kicks of normal play well. No fabric is bite-proof, though. If your cat bites hard, keep sessions short and stop when they get too worked up.
My cat ignores toys. Will this work?
A toy you move is a lot harder to ignore than one lying on the floor, and the catnip helps. Some cats would rather cuddle the Roo than wrestle it. We count that as a win too.
Won't play-fighting teach my cat to bite hands?
The idea is a simple rule your cat can learn: rough play is for the Roo, and bare hands are never a toy. Stick to it, and put the Roo away when playtime ends.
